Classic Canadian Caesar Recipe
Description
This cocktail blends a base Caesar mix of Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, pickle juice, soy sauce, horseradish, and spices to create a deeply savory and tangy foundation. When poured over ice with vodka and clamato juice—which is tomato juice enhanced with clam broth and spices—it yields a distinctive drink often served in glasses rimmed with seasoned salt. The fresh garnishes like lime wedges, pickles, and extreme beans add brightness, tang, and texture, enhancing the experience.
Traditionally consumed as a brunch cocktail or casual social drink, its bold flavors make it a unique alternative to the Bloody Mary. The drink can be adjusted in heat level and alcohol content by varying the amounts of hot sauce and vodka or omitting alcohol entirely for a virgin version.
Using different garnishes allows personalization, and if clamato juice is unavailable, plain tomato juice can be substituted with the Caesar mix for a similar savory profile. Adjusting the amount of mix to taste allows for controlling the spiciness and saltiness.
Ingredients
Caesar mix
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce low sodium
- ½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- ½ teaspoon horseradish
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon steak spice
For Ceasars
- 2 cups ice
- 4 ounce vodka
- 4 cup clamato juice (tomato juice with spices and clam broth)
For garnish (optional)
- ¼ cup caesar rim seasoning
- 4 extreme beans
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- 2 pickles cut in half lengthwise
Instructions
- Combine all the caesar mix ingredients and mix well.
- Wet the rim of 4 glasses or jars (you can either use water, or use a fresh lemon or lime) then dip the glass rim into a plate with caesar rim seasoning. See video.
- Fill all glasses half way with ice. Divide the caesar mix equally among the 4 glasses. Add 1 oz of vodka in each glass and a cup of the Clamato juice. Mix well using a long spoon.
- Garnish with extreme beans, pickles and lime wedges. Enjoy!
Notes
- The cocktail can be made with tequila or gin instead of vodka, or served as a non-alcoholic version without any spirit.
- Common garnishes include lime wedges and celery stalks, but these can be varied based on preference.
- Clamato juice is tomato juice mixed with clam broth and spices; tomato juice can substitute if Clamato is unavailable by using the Caesar mix for flavor.
- Tabasco sauce can be omitted for a milder version, or increased to intensify the heat.
- Adjust the amount of Caesar mix to control the drink's saltiness and spice level.
